My work history- I have worked as an IP with a non-verbal Down Syndrome gentleman, care has ranged from home health, assisted living, nursing homes, assisted living and med tech positions, even to include time working for a non-profit drug addicted infants facility. I have enjoyed my work as a health professional and the many different opportunities, including my work as a Phlebotomist with medical research. Sounds like a lot of moving around and it was, as a prior military wife, that flexibility was needed. A few years ago I was able to pursue a particular passion and now continue to educate myself, as I work under my Cosmetology license in a salon in Seattle. Ferocious Angels. I enjoy the flexibility I have with my job but am looking to care for some little ones, in some of my extra time. I know I can be a valuable help to one of my community families.
